Jesse James gets custody of Sunny

Jesse James was granted full custody of his daughter, Sunny. Will her mom still get to see her?

We never thought we'd see the day when Jesse James would be considered the more stable parent, but it happened! An Orange County, California judge granted the newly-single James with sole custody of his daughter Sunny, 7.

The decision gave the ex Mr. Sandra Bullock the win in his years-long battle with Sunny's mother, Janine Lindemulder. Attorney John Schilling told People that Lindemulder will either have to go to inpatient rehab if she moves to Texas or will only get supervised visitation with Sunny if she stays in California.

"Jesse treats me with great disregard as a mother, he doesn't want me in the picture," Lindemulder said in July 2010. "I believe I'm trying to be replaced by Sandra Bullock. I can't compete with what they have."
